Abstract
A new interpretation for the two new rotational bands in the 102Nb nucleus is presented. These two bands in 102Nb are proposed to be semi-decoupled bands where the odd proton with Ωp = ½ is coupled to the rotation axis and odd neutron with Ωn≠½ is strongly coupled to the deformation axis of the 100Zr deformed core. The likely orbitals are π½[431] and ν3/2[532].
